ABSTRACT Experiments with adult rats treated with dexamethasone showed a decreased retention of radioactive calcium and strontium as compared with the control animals. In addition a marked reduction in weight was observed probably due to dehydration. In animals which had additional injections of nortestosterone compounds, i. e. Durabolin® and Anadur® respectively, these effects of cortisone were not counteracted although animals treated with nortestosterone compounds alone showed an increased retention of radioactive calcium as compared with the control animals.

Increased Retention

Alveolar transfer of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was characterized in isolated perfused guinea pig lungs (n = 19) by measuring radioactivity appearing in the venous effluent during 30 min after intratracheal instillation of [3H]PGE2, [14C]-mannitol, and [125I]iodoantipyrine. Recovery of lipid-soluble [125I]iodoantipyrine [91 +/- 3% (SE)] after 30 min was used to estimate total 3H and 14C delivered to the exchanging region of lung at time 0. In seven control lungs, 58 +/- 4% of [14C]mannitol and 16 +/- 4% of [3H]PGE2 was retained 10 min after instillation. Neither perfusion with diphloretin phosphate (10 micrograms/ml; n = 4) nor hypothermia (5 degrees C; n = 5) significantly affected the amount of [14C]mannitol retained; however, [3H]PGE2 remaining in these lungs increased significantly to 36 +/- 4 and 53 +/- 2%, respectively. Addition of unlabeled PGE2 (200 micrograms) to the instilled solution (n = 3) increased retention of both [14C]mannitol (80 +/- 3%) and [3H]PGE2 (65 +/- 4%). Alveolar transfer of [3H]PGE2 was calculated as the difference in percent retention of [14C]mannitol and [3H]PGE2 and normalized to that of [14C]mannitol. After 10 min, alveolar transfer of [3H]PGE2 was 71 +/- 8% in control lungs but was decreased to 26 +/- 7, 10 +/- 5, and 19 +/- 6% by diphloretin phosphate, hypothermia, or unlabeled PGE2, respectively. These data suggest that alveolar clearance of PGE2 involves a saturable drug- and temperature-sensitive process.

Increased Retention

In this work, consideration was given to the possibility that increased retention of Ca in the intestinal wall may have resulted in the glucocorticoid-treated animal. Rabbits were treated with pharmacological doses of either dexamethasone, estrogen, or progesterone during 1 wk. Two milliliters of solution containing Ca (plus Mg, K, and Na) were infused into a double-ligated (4 cm apart) gut loop (jejunum). In addition, an adjacent loop was double ligated but received no infusion. Uterine horns were treated in the same way as the gut and were used as controls to test for organ specificity. After the organs were infused with the calcium solution, they were returned into the abdominal cavity for a 4-h period. Dexamethasone treatment was given to a different group of rabbits in which neither surgery was performed nor mineral solution was infused into the lumen of the intestine; in this experiment calcium concentrations were measured in the mucosa, submucosa, and serosa layer obtained from the duodenum, midjejunum, and distal jejunum. In rabbits subjected to surgery, the concentration of Ca in the whole wall of the intestine of the dexamethasone-treated rabbits (45.4 +/- 2.6 mM/kg dry tissue) was twice as large as in controls (22.6 +/- 3.2 mM/kg dry tissue) (P less than 0.05). Mg concentrations were moderately (17%) increased (P less than 0.05). In the group of rabbits receiving dexamethasone but not subjected to surgery, the concentration of Ca in the duodenum (mucosa, submucosa, and whole wall), midjejunum (whole wall), and distal jejunum (submucosa) was significantly (P less than 0.05) elevated as compared with controls. In these rabbits, the duodenum was the most affected segment of the intestine. The effect of dexamethasone was both organ and steroid specific but not mineral specific. This result suggests that one of the effects of the glucocorticoid (dexamethasone) treatment on the intestinal wall was to increase the retention of Ca.
